A leader of a Texas polygamist sect has been sentenced to 33 years in prison for child sex abuse after "marrying" and impregnating a 15-year-old girl. Allan Eugene Keate, 57, is the second man so far convicted of the charges among those who were busted after the headline-grabbing roundup of residents last year at the Yearning for Zion Ranch.
Prosecutors relied on compound documents of the Mormon splinter group detailing men's "spiritual marriages" to girls to make their case. Records indicated Keate had 7 wives, reports AP.
